Posted this on the Cycle thread and feel like I need to post it here as well:
Pornhub really went out here and said "Fuck you!" to animators.
So they removed every thing off the site that wasn't uploaded by a verified account or one of their partner programs so they could avoid reuploads, spam, un-con videos, and other not Gucci stuff that I won't name (use context clues). BUT!!! It's been made very clear that they also hidden the fact that they also removed A LOT of animations from the site as well. So animators are trying to verify their accounts, PH says they just need to upload an avatar to help verify themselves... but the feature to upload avatars is disabled. Those that had avatars have had them removed. Everyone's headers are being changed to a generic template. Videos are being removed or hidden while other "verified" accounts are stealing and reuploading them. Lots of people I follow are getting hit, looks like even ZONE was hit! Fucking ZONE! That alone proves to me that PH is secretly using this as a way to remove animated content from their platform.
EDIT: To give an example at how bad this is, I follow an animator called Cavafly01. I know that they have made over 100 animations, I don't think all of them have been posted on Pornhub but regardless all of the ones that were there are now gone! That's probably thousands of hours of hard work just removed in the blink of an eye!
